This project's goal is to educate the current group members of Humans for Animals on ethical and sustainable beekeeping practices. We visited the campus beekeeper Ed Popelka who gave us a tour of his farm and educated us on his practices and how he differs from the global commercial beekeeping businesses. Through this we will learn how bees benefit us and how we can all help the bees!

To complete my project I'm going to get earth worms, release them into the school garden and the solid around the garden.This will help decompose dead organisms and help improve the quality of the soil. Over time they will reproduce and continue to help improve the ecosystem.

My project will take carbon dioxide and turn it into oxygen due to me planting several shrubs and flowers. I will take a section of my backyard and create a flowerbed by digging up the existing grass, dig holes, and then plant the shrubs and flowers there. I will then cover the area with soil and water it every other day.

We chose to build a birdhouse because though it is something small, it makes a huge impact on the surrounding environment. By providing birds with a cool shelter, we are inviting them to make a difference in our area. Without birds, our ecological system would be thrown off and take time to repair.

My project will give a view out to people on how they can help change and improve our environment, wildlife, and better ourselves on doing it. My view of this project is to give a clear picture to people that if we come together we can change and help the environment for the better. We as human beings can all come together and help improve and help create change.

First step will be to replenish the soil. We have already tested it for major nutrients: phosphorous, nitrogen, and potassium and found it to be seriously lacking in all three. In addition, as we took soil samples we did not find any insects or worms in the ground, it was that poor. After building the soil with organic materials, we will plant drought tolerant shrubs appropriate to our climate and the availability of water on our campus. These plants will eventually spread their roots systems and help keep the soil in place. Following the planting we will mulch the entire area to further combat the airborne dust that is such an environmental irritant to our students . Lastly we will create student maintenance teams to ensure the ongoing flourishing of the garden .

We will collect certain items to send back to Terracycle (for which we receive points).
Kellogg's receipts will gain us points for tree-planting, as well.
We will discuss further where our pennies will make the most positive impact.

This project is simply to protect our home,Earth. Earth has been warming up, becouse of poulltion. It's very easy to do. Just grab a bucket and a BBQ clip. If you see garbage just use the clip and put the garbage inside the bucket. Sort the garbage out at the garbage bin.
